Spring is finally here!

That means the outside needs a make-over!

We (I mean, Ry) mowed the lawn for the first time the other day....

Todie and I watched and cheered him on. :) I can't wait to start planting flowers, we're planning on buying some this week. I can't wait to show you before and after photos! We do have lots of perennials coming up now-like our hostas and violas...and they are popping up even in our driveway cracks!

They are pretty....though! :)

Love

It's not just me who has gotten a hair cut!

It's Toders too! :)

(Before...)

(Yes, Ryan is shaving his butt.)

(So much hair!)

He is so much cooler! And still super cute! :)

 If only my hair cut turned out so cute...

LOVE.

Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes!

So....Instead of telling this big ole story about what's been happening, I'll just show you pictures.

So, I won a free make-over. It was like "what not to wear"-I had to give them control of everything! They waxed by brows, did my make-up, and colored and cut my hair (that's why the first picture looks so scary, NO MAKEUP!). It happened like three weeks ago, and just recently, I have started to like it. I actually think it was because I was in shock-I had 14 inches cut off (and donated!) and it's grown about a half-inch. I can finally put it in a tiny baby pony. :) So, let me know what you think....!

April....Where did you go?!?

March 26. That's the last time I said hi. I'm a terrible friend. So, we're going to start things off slow...

What I've been reading....

{source}

This book is super original. It's written from a 5 year old, Jack's, point of view. His mom was kidnapped and kept in a room when she was 19. Seven years go by and Jack has grown up thinking that the 11 by 11 foot room is all the world is.  

It wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but it was surprisingly good. I really liked it, and it was really east to get into, which makes me like a book more. It was a quick read too, but still very entertaining. I love psychology, and this has a lot to do with Jack's development. 

There are a few more that I've been reading, and some other...shocking....happenings, but we're starting slow, remember?

I've missed you guys. :)

Love

This time of year reminds me of....

Winter camping!

Yea, the hubs and I (before we were the hubs and I) went winter camping one year. It was cold (try -4 at night!), but actually really beautiful. I would do it again for sure. The best part about it is the fact that your water is always cold! :) Anyways, these are from November 2008...ENJOY!

(P.S. this post is a little photo heavy!)

Driving to the middle of nowhere...

Finally arrived...

Getting ready to depart!

All ready to go!

Sunsets are so beautiful on the lake...But look at the snow! :(

So, after walking all day, we make camp on a little hill were we eat canned food warmed by a fire.

One bad thing about winter camping: the snow on the bottom of your pants melt from your body heat and then freeze from the cold leaving frozen pant bottoms. And you thought that wet ones were bad! Good thing-having a hubby that will defrost and warm your pants on the fire. Haha!

Another good thing....

And another....

He still loves me. :)

Crafts....

So, random post I know....

Back in January, when it was freezing cold outside (o wait, it still is....urrgh), I decided to start crocheting again. But, what to crochet? Scarves for Toby of course!

Seriously? How cute is he?

Don't judge. You know it melts your heart.  :)

Love.

A Day at the Museum...

Where the Hubs and I live, there is an awesome Museum. Seriously, it's been around for over 100 years. We used to take field trips to go see it when we were little and we still love to go visit it when it has a great exhibit. Well, friends, it has a great exhibit. I'm sure you've heard of the world-known "Bodies Revealed". It's here. In my hometown. Cue date night....

Outside our Museum

Poster of the event. No photos were allowed in the exhibit

No trip to the museum would be complete with out a ride on the original  Carousel!

Cutie Hubs

The exhibit was phenomenal. I love every minute of it. It's so fascinating...the bodies don't look like real bodies until you see little clues. It's hard to forget they were living and breathing people, but then you see hair or some other little clue. I'm pretty sure I said something along the lines of "I want my bodie donated to science so I can be in this exhibit" twenty times to the hubsters. :) If you ever have a chance to go see it, go! It's awesome.  TO find out more information....go here!

So, that's it. I had to work after our day trip....but we had a great afternoon spent together!
